in the current situation, we are better off with divided government. the reason i say that is that when you get legislation that passes only because one party controls everything, it is not stable. the great example in this is the affordable care act. obamacare, as some call it, was enacted without a single republican vote. democrats controlled both houses of congress. the problem with that is business people who have to make plans look at that and say, if it only passed because the democrats had total control, then if after the election the republicans have control, they have promised to repeal it. this is the largest ever regulation of the largest sector of the largest economy on the planet. this idea that it will either stand as the law of the land or disappear completely is paralyzing for businesses. it is so much better if we can have divided government and have them agree on something. which they may finally be forced to do. >> did you have trouble getting your editors at "fortune magazine" to except this article? >> no. no objections at all. i w
